@aimart: Nice to wake up and see USA gets its first win in the @rugbyworldcup. 13-6 over Russia.
@ReidW: Another great game at the Rugby World Cup. Love the way both teams are playing the game and making their tackles.
@uphillrunner78: I vote this guy [right] for the best dressed supporter. Awesome Rugby World Cup pics!
@CondedeMontecristo: The Russians are mental, or brave as hell. Or both. Exciting rugby match.
@Kiwi_Chris: No pads, no helmets. It's good to see the hard men of the USA
@stopasyougo: I feel like Russia was playing back on their heels for much of the 2nd half but #USA couldn't finish #rwc2011
@McMarcoP: USA wasted too much,were superior for 65 minutes and failed to capitalise. Russia could have won it with luck with the boot.
@NickHenderson: Who would have guessed. USA vs Russia is an amazing game. Fast and tough
@ainsleybeaton1: I am spending so much time watching the RWC that i am running on NZ time even though i am at home in Scotland!! :)
